The correct answer is option:

The peak of the bell curve has shifted to the right, with a greater frequency of crickets with long legs and a lower frequency of crickets with short legs.

The given condition would lead the directional selection of the crickets with long legs. Directional selection leads to shifting of curve in one direction, which is more suitable.

The crickets with short leg get easily caught by predators, so, after sometime, there would be a decrease in number of the crickets with short leg. At the same time, the crickets with long leg would manage to save themselves and their number would comparatively increased.

If you exercise at an intensity of 1 liter of oxygen per minute, about how many calories would you burn in one hour?

ANTONII [103]

When exercising carbohydrates an fats are oxidized to release energy used by muscles, during this oxidation 1 liter of oxygen is equivalent to approximately 5 calories. Therefore if one liter of oxygen is consumed every minute during exercise, then in an hour 60 liters of oxygen will have been used. But since one liter of oxygen is equivalent to 5 calories, then in an hour 300 calories will have burned.

Ne4ueva [31]

Explanation:

Nuclear fusion is a process in which two small nuclei combine together to result in the formation of a larger nuclei.

In Sun, the first step of hydrogen fusion includes combining of two hydrogen nuclei to result in the formation of a deuterium, positron and neutrino.

The nuclear fusion reaction inside the sun is as follows.

$^{1}H + ^{1}H \rightarrow ^{2}D + positron + neutrino$
